The Monetary Situation.

The month of March is always re-
garded with more of less apprehension
by borrowers of money owing to the
drain upon the city banks for currency
incident TO the annual settlements 10
the Middle and Eastern States which
occur on the lst of April.
Even more than the usual degree of
interest is manifested this year, first,
because the banks for some time have
been expanding their loans while losing
heavily in reserve, and, second, on ac-
count OF the almost anomalous position
OF The Treasury by reason of the fail
nre OF Congress to adopt measures 10
prevent an undue accumulation of
money in its vaults. That concern is
felt in commercial circles is attested by
the active preparations now making by
borrowers to guard against any sudden
stringency in the market. The activity
In trade, the great wheat movement ia
Chicago, and the boom in lands in the
South and in certain sections of the
West, have all tended to draw funds
from this centre, but there would be
little likelihood Of trouble were i. not
for the difficulty of fading an outlet
for the surplus revenues of the Govern
ment. The Treasury sccumulates cash
very rapidly while the process of re-
storing money 10 the active channels
of trade is much slower Only $780,
100000 Of the three per cents remain
ing uncalled, Secretary Msnning's sue
cessor may sooner OF later have to re-
sort to the expedient of buying the fix
ed date Government bonds in the open
market, which means paying such
prices as their holders may dictate.
To establish such precedent would be
undesirable, to say the least, and should
the Treasury have recourse to it the
late Congress will have much 10 answer

Another Terrible Railway Accident

Last Monday terrible accident
occurred on the Boston and Providence
road near Boston. As the morning
train from Dedham reached
the iron bridge between Forest Hill
and Roslindale, about five miles from
Boston, the last five cars fell with the
bridge into a cut thirty-6ve feet deep.
The cars were crowded with working,
of whom scarcely passenger escaped
unhurt.
Fully one hundred persons were kill
ed or injured. The ruins were spatter-
ed with blood in every direction. In
one place the bodies of seven women
were taken out in a row, all horribly
mangled. A pathetic sight was that
of two girls with arms around one
another, clinging together in the en-
brace of death. Both had been killed
by blows upon the head. In many in
stances axes and crowbars were neces-
tary in order to free the persons who
we're pinioned in the wreck. In two
cases it was necessary to cut the bodies
in order to get Them out.
The train consisted of an engine,
baggage car and nine passenger cars,
the last Car being the smoker. When
the tram was half way across the
bridge, the big span running transver-
sely across the cat, bent in the middle.
Five cars fell into the cut, the engine
and the two forward cars hung to the
further side, and the two rear cars
were tipped completely over. One car
caught fire from the car stove, but was
extinguished by the fire department.
Prof. George L. Swain, Instructor
of Civil Engineering and Hydraulics
at the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology and specialist at civil engi-
neering, inspected the fallen bridge
and said that two of the hangers
which supported the lower beams of
the bridge were badly rusted and de-
fective and that, contrary to all recog-
nized principles of construction, these
hangers were covered with caps so
that they could not be inspected.
Therefore whoever inspected the bridge
and reported it safe reported what he
did not know. Prof. Swain discovered
other defects in the structure, and if
bis statements are borne out by the
official investigation it would appear as
though the road would be bankrupted
by the damages that may be collected.

OF LOUIS j. JENNINGS. THE STORIES OF

LONDON, March 4th, 1887.
Some time since one of the papers print
ed an imaginary story in regard to how Sir
Charles Dixie proposed TO set about the
work of rehabilitation by going to his es.
tstes in France, and 10 for French politics.
Since then / have beenfull of latent
curiosity as to where Sir Charles was,
and what he was doing. A few weeks
ago the papers announced briefly that
he had inherited half a million dollars
from AN aged female relative, and this,
with the ample means already possessed
by himself and his wife, made him q
very rich man, but beyond this not a word
about his movements has been printed.
A week ago on raw nigh. / was driv-
Ing through Chelsea ia han dsome cab,
and feeling the need of something warm
Ing and sustaining l signalled the driver
with my stick to stop at the "White Hart
Tavern" large and well kept public-house
In the Kings Road.
AS 1t was not my first visit to the place,
and as with the instincts of Yankee and q
journalist had scraped an acquaintance
with mine host of ye inn, ap intelligent re-
tired commercial traveller, he came over
and spoke to me, and remarked that his
fancy was little "Cold Scotch" ''Sir
Charles is up stairs" he said.
"Whatl Sir Charles Dilkel" / queried.
"fes '" "There's dinner on Cat As. a

and Honorable Order Of Foresters.' Sir
Charles has recently been made member,

1t Is pc rhaps needless to say that imme-
diately enquired If the dinner was open to
any apparently respectable person upon
payment of As, or II it was confined To
members Of the order "Any one introduc-
ed Is admitted, and l will introduce you"
he replied, so in few minutes l had dis
missed my cab, slowed my coat and hat in
the cosy bsr-parlour, and was seated at q
long table where something over 100 Fores-
tiers were dining, and at the head of the ta-
BILE was Sir Charles Dixie. Notwithstand-
ing the verdict Of the jury in the Crawford
case, there are still good many people in
England who think Sir Charles an innocent
and much abused man, but whatever their
